I have a Camray 3 boiler, the make is Riello 40, and the model is 50/70, it has run out of oil and we have refilled the tank and do not know where to bleed it from. Please could you tell me how to bleed and where from, thanks.

Same as said except mine you only need a straight screwdriver, however I tried this and well nothing , so I decided to go down stream from the bleeder and cracked a compression fitting to see if there was oil there, NOPE so attached a length of hose pipe and duct tape and yes sucked a little and up it came the oil dude!, LOL, the oil slowly bled through along with black crap which was obviously attached to the walls of the oil intake pipe, drained about 2 liters of oil and re-connected live by the compression fitting, then started the boiler up and hey off she went, re tightened the bleed off and well all is fine, am warm again! All the above given in good intensions but if in doubt get an engineer who is specialist in this field, I did in fact isolate the electrics before undoing the bleeder and then on again to fire up the boiler then off again to tighten bleeder then switch on again! If in doubt do nothing. wish you well. PS don't run out of oil dipstick!

on the lh side of the riello burner (with the red box removed) you will see the 'flat face' of the pump its round with a 'bump' at about the 2o'clock on the face, there you will see a small allen grub screw (use a 4mm allen key) open this most of the way out, and press the red button to fire the burner (you may need to do this a few times) until you get the oil bubbling out then a steady flow, the buner should light, then tighten it back up (you may need a small bowl underneath to catch the oil)
